• Instability of the reading
• Slow calibration
• Probe will not calibrate
• pH value doesn’t change as expected when changing samples
Additionally, when sampling coloured liquids, the probe should be cleaned when
the reference diaphragm is no longer white.
9.1.2 Cleaning Procedure
Read Section 9.1.2.1, Cleaning Tips, before following this procedure.
1. Place probe in warm tap water (~60°) with a mild detergent and soak for 5
minutes, stir periodically.
2. Scrub the surface of the chip and the diaphragm (Figure 9-1) with a soft
toothbrush and water with a mild detergent (see Caution).
Never brush the probe tip, especially the ISFET chip, before
rinsing and flushing thoroughly with water. Before rinsing
debris and particles may be on the sensor surface and
brushing them into the sensor may damage it. When in
doubt, soak the probe for a while in warm water with a mild
detergent.

3. Rinse thoroughly with deionized water.
4. Revitalize the probe (Section 9.1.3, Revitalizing)
5. Calibrate the probe (Appendix C, Calibration).
9.1.2.1 Cleaning Tips
• To avoid scratches on the sensor surface, rinse the probe thoroughly using
water before cleaning the probe with the soft brush supplied with the meter
and tap water with a mild detergent added. Most scratches on the sensor are
caused when there are hard particles in the sample and the sample is rubbed
into the sensor when cleaning with the toothbrush.
